They aren't really allowed to "speak out" as you say. Do you know what kinds of hell Prince Charles got for talking about how ugly modern architecture is ( which he was correct about ), several decades ago?

Put simply, so that perhaps you will finally "get it"........

THE QUEEN IS A SYMBOL, A FIGUREHEAD AND THE OTHER ROYALS ARE LESS THAN THAT. THEIR "JOB" IS TO OPEN STUFF ( THE QUEEN OPENS THE PARLIAMENT SEASON ), LAUNCH NEW SHIPS, WORK ON MANY DIFFERENT CHARITIES, AND THAT'S IT.

The royals pay income taxes now, so of course they all know how much that costs everyone.

You really and truly need to just drop this, NOW, because you have become ridiculous, in the extreme.

I don’t need to drop jack! Until I see fit, thank you very much. We are in America here and thank God not England where the royalty has not the courage to speak out on terrible evils of the day! At least it sounds that way. Shame on them! Okay, now I am done.
